SUMMARY:Monarch Butterfly Tag and Release
DESCRIPTION:Be a part of one of the most remarkable natural events on the planet! Join Friends of the Garden as we partner with Monarch Watch\, a research and conservation program\, to tag migratory monarchs.  From Springfield\, a Monarch can travel about 1\,600 miles to its overwintering site in Mexico. \nHelp local experts: tag a butterfly\, release it\, and receive the tag code and information from Monarch Watch so you can track if and when the butterfly is found! This hands-on program from the University of Kansas is a unique opportunity for all ages to learn about Monarchs\, their habitat\, life cycle and amazing migration. \nThe tagging of Monarchs has been used to confirm their migration from Canada and the United States to Mexico. It helps scientists determine the pathways\, or routes\, Monarchs take to reach Mexico. Tagging helps to unlock the mystery of how these tiny creatures navigate mountains\, forests\, streams and meadows to overwinter in the same several acres as their great\, great\, great grandparents. Learn more at monarchwatch.org. \nTag and release will start at 2 pm and end when supplies/butterflies run out! \n
